Now that the summer is over it is time to write a blog post about it, so here we go. For the most part, I really enjoyed my summer, and I spent most of the time sailing around the gulf islands exploring new places, eating new foods, trying the ice cream at the different islands, and mostly of all, catching new Pokémon and getting items and XP from Pokéstops.
We started our journey from thunderbird, crossing the Georgia straight to Silva bay which was the worst island by far, as the island was basically abandoned and only had one restaurant. The people there were also very dodgy, to put it nicely, and the condition of everything there was very withered and old. Here is a picture of the place:
We then departed to Telegraph harbour which was a beautiful place, everything was in really good condition, the ice cream was amazing, and there were swings, ping pong, horseshoe throwing, and really good toilets. There was also a Pokéstop not too far from the harbour. Here are some a pictures:
We then went to Montague harbour where we anchored off. It was very beautiful, but it was also quite boring, as there was basically nothing to do on the island apart from camping. There was a little harbour on the stand with a shop and a small restaurant quite a while away from where we anchored off as well, and there was good food and service there. We also went standup paddle boarding around the area, which was very exciting and adventurous. Here is a picture of the sunset when we came back:
After that we traveled to Ganges marina, which was by far my favourite island. The food was amazing, the Wifi was amazing, there were many upon many restaurants that had delicious food, nice toilets and showers, there was a swimming pool not too far from the marina, and most importantly there were millions of Pokéstops. Here is a screenshot:
And here is a picture of the beautiful marina itself:
We then set off to Otter bay, which was also quite a nice place, as there were two swimming pools, free showers, good toilets, really good wifi, and a really nice view from a little observatory type deck. During the second or first day there (I can’t quite remember) there were orcas out in the ocean, that were just about visible from the wooden observatory deck. There were about two or three of them, and they were so majestic and beautiful, even though they were hardly visible from where we were. We did get pictures of the orcas, but they were hardly visible on the pictures, as they were really far away. Here are some pictures of the bay anyway:
We then started heading back home, and stopped off at poet’s cove. This place was very beautiful, and the marina was very new and clean, there was also a pool, good toilets, and free showers. The highlight of poets cove was by far the Pokémon, as there was a Pokéstop just next to the swimming pool, and not far from the marina. We dropped a lure down there, and we managed to catch many new and rare Pokémon, which was awesome, because we hadn’t caught many before Poet’s. Here is a picture of Poet’s:
We then traveled back, going to many of the same places, except this time we went across another pass so we didn’t have to go to Silva bay again. Overall I was happy to be home, and have my own room, toilet and shower gain, but I also missed the adventure, food and Pokémon at all the different islands we had explored. After coming home on late August, I relaxed, watching and studying films, having an amazing birthday, and played a lot of games, if you want to read about some of the games coming out, and updates on different games click here.
